Week of Caring

We would like to thank Spartanburg Water and Smith Drug Co. for helping us through the United Way's Week of Caring!








Thanks to Spartanburg Water, our building is looking beautiful! They pressure washed the outside of the building as well as helped us with some much needed yard work.






Smith Drug Company painted one of our classrooms that will be used for important meetings and GED tutoring. It looks like a brand new room!

Thanks again for all the help you were to us during the Week of Caring, and for your commitment to serving the families in our community!
